Back in the olden days of college yore the beer wouldn't have time to get cold. Many college guys would "shoot" their beers. Anyone remember that?

I'm from Wisconsin. Sorry. :wave:

Well, if it were true, I'd be able to choke down a [fill in scary name here] IPA, so long as it's served in a frozen mug. OK, if I'm being honest I've never met the beer I couldn't choke down. But the fact is, lagers taste better cold and many ales, especially English stouts, are better at room temperature. It has more to do with where and at what temperature the yeast ferments (top or bottom, cold or warm) than bitterness.

The bitterness of beer is simply the hops, which was never supposed to improve the taste, in the first place. The only reason people started using hops was that it kept the beer from going bad longer, back before refrigeration was invented. Apparently, even microscopic bacteria that don't mind the taste of pond scum draw the line at eating hops! So if you put a massive amount in your beer, you can ship it all the way from England to India in a sailboat before it has to be thrown out. That's why IPA's are called "INDIA Pale Ales".

It seems like whenever I order a bottled beer at a bar or restaurant, they bring me a 12-ounce, frozen frosted glass. So, I guess I am supposed to pour the entire bottle into the glass and be happy that they chilled the glass for me. This happens everywhere I go. Personally, I don't like large frosted glasses for drinking beer. I never drink beer that way at home. So, I have learned to specifically ask for a non-frosted, small glass instead of the large frosted type. I was just wondering if I am the only one who prefers to drink beer from a non-frosted glass.

Could be a change from normal subjects, and quite amusing!

Seeing the boot in your message reminded me of a trip we took to Lisbon, Portugal. I ordered a beer and the waiter asked if I wanted the boot. Said sure, why not? Out came a glass boot that had to contain at least a liter of beer. Needless to say that I didn’t order a second beer!
